Too much anti-fun

Much better these days than it used to be.

There was an Era not long after you quit and stopped playing once Cutrale died down where players were frowned upon runnings, probably something Wil Soul made players believe.

When?

I've literally stood still holding wall/table angles while people run half-circles back and forth into my bullets and die, they call this running all the time.

How can players frown upon something they cannot fully understand? If a tactic works so well that measures need to be made to restrict it, I'd say more people should probably start doing it.

Probably before you started playing

Yeah you're really going to have fun in raid when every gang is holding down their own table in the corner and nobody has the balls to make the first move. Too many people rely on players moving in on them so they can just "kite" as you say, but if nobody rushed then these players would not see so much success. Game's boring when you have to chase everyone all day, if you're so good why not come get some? The only reason I could see why not is because the game is so spam heavy now and killstreaks encourage cowardice (or 'strategy' for all you nerdos). Enter a raid with ~6 people in it and there will be more bullets than you would see in raids of twice the size 3 years ago. The result is Deb and most of Kenshin running away at every chance so they can get their supply drop and have big positive /gangs. "Top Gang"

And yeah there was a period when runners and even people that used strafe were frowned upon. Will always shittalks me when I complain about runners so I'm not sure if it was him who influenced people.

I just don't see the point in running. You obviously lost the fight, that's why you're running. Just die and give the other person their point/kill and go heal in hospital for 10 seconds and be back in action instead of darting around the gmap for 5 minutes trying to survive when you probably won't.
